A young Nigerian man was beaten to de@th in the Volta Region area of Ghana.

 

Destiny, 19, an upcoming Edo state-born artiste, met his untimely demise on May 28.

 

An unnamed Nigerian based in Ghana accused Destiny of failing to remit funds related to a business venture they introduced him to and this resulted in him being attacked,

 

The male adult, who was also said to be among those who facilitated Destiny’s trip to the country, stormed his apartment alongside two others to question him about the funds.

 

When Destiny could not provide answers, they assaulted him and only stopped when they noticed he was motionless.

 

A source told Punch: “Destiny went to Ghana to further his education, and the travel was facilitated by someone he called his street brother. These are the same people who provided an apartment for him over there. Those who broke the news to us from there said the men introduced him to a business, which they later accused him of diverting some funds meant for the business. This angered them, and they went to his apartment and beat him up. The beating was so intense that he felt weak and gave up the ghost in the process.”

 

It was further learnt that the suspects left the deceased’s body in the room after they discovered that he was motionless.

 

Another source told the publication that the police later discovered the corpse a few days after the incident.

 

“The police were alerted to the incident, and some officers were deployed to the apartment where Destiny’s remains were found. We were told that no suspects had been arrested since his death. We hope the Ghanaian authorities find his killers and bring them to justice,” the source said.

 

In a video, Destiny was seen speaking about himself and what his plans were.

 

He said, “I am Destiny and I am a streamer from Nigeria. I want to apply to Streamers University, and this will be a great joy for me, my mother, and everybody. I am also an artiste and a gamer. I do all sorts of things.”
